Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[Premeditated]

It's a historical French thing that goes back to the 50's when they changed the football curriculum and have been arguing about the NT style ever since. The most highly regarded entertaining teams are 58, 82-84 and the 2000 squads. 2 Euro Wins and 2 World Cup semis with those teams. Even inbetween those periods of successes France twice failed to qualify for b2b World Cups as well as Euros in the same period. (70,72 & 74 and from 88, 90 & 94) and we've all seen their failures of getting out of the Group Stages in the World Cup in the 21st Century in 02 & 10. Even in the 98-2000 Squad they regularly went into games with 3 defensive type of midfielders.

true, I said it the other day, french coaching has always been meh to me. I don't know what they are doing to produce the players they produce. But I feel like more than ever, they have a bundle of young up and coming midfield with different skillsets who can be top class. I don't think they had that in the modern era.

Concacaf continues to screw multiple teams again and again with these final round formats that guarantee USA and Mexico play home and home matches. They really should have went with the double hex they had originally planned.

Rodgers wanted to send him to Fulham for Clint Dempsey . He really could have spared us that picture of him, Coutinho and Moreno though. That couldn't have been the only sad picture from that Europa League final.
